Istanbul by Gallivant is, as Nick Steward (Gallivant creator and traveler) says, “an Orientalist’s fantasy expressed in a modern script.” Some of the slightly unusual notes added to the Oriental structure are red thyme, lavender and geranium. Just what you would want in an exciting Oriental fragrance.

Mon Seul Désir by Jul et Mad is elegant and enveloping. Nutmeg, pink pepper and mandarin star in the opening, float past the osmanthus and coriander to join forces with its benzoin base. Add in a few woods (oud and guaiac), amber and musk and you have a perfect evening.

Night Flower by Eris Parfums surprises. It opens with an unusual leather / suede + tuberose combination that seduces all the way through to its spicy drydown of cardamom, cinnamon, tonka bean and patchouli. Mmmmm….

Constance by Deco London opens with a sweet burst of bergamot, mandarine, mimosa and raspberry blossoms. Its spicy-floral heart develops into rich woods, opulent vanilla and sensual musk.

Oud Satin Mood by Maison Francis Kurkdjian is the ultimate in smoothness. From its violet opening accord, past the roses from Turkey and Bulgaria into its refined oud, vanilla and amber base, you’ll feel totally sensual.
